Abstract

This paper shows how teachers who may be reluctant to implement information technologies in the classroom, after a period of training are able to understand and accept the introduction of the computer based University Entrance Examination (PAU). The paper begins by describing the PAULEX Project (MEC España, proyecto HUM2007-66479-C02-01/FILO). After, it proposes a system of teacher training and concludes that the appropriate training produces significant changes in the teachers´ attitudes and also their behavior towards the new test. To do so, the paper suggests training that permits the transition from the simple knowledge of the test delivery and context towards the interiorization and, finally, its integration by the teacher. In this evolution, it is necessary for the teacher to understand and accept the test construct, first, and also ultimately make him able to identify himself with test administrator
